The Adverse Event Outcome and Cse Mix Reports, based on OASIS data, provide agencies with clinical out come data that can be used to improve quality of care. The reposts are a first step in the effort to bring the home care industry to a new era of using patient-centered data as the basis for improving services.

This article provides strategies for collecting OASIS data as part of a routine patient comprehensive assessment.
